حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَمْشَاذٍ الْعَدْلُ ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ ثَنَا زِيَادُ الْجَصَّاصُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ حَدَّثَنِي قَيْسُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ الْمِنْقَرِيُّ قَالَ
قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «هَذَا سَيِّدُ أَهْلِ الْوَبَرِ» فَلَمَّا نَزَلْتُ أَتَيْتُهُ فَجَعَلْتُ أُحَدِّثُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الْمَالُ الَّذِي لَا يَكُونُ عَلَيَّ فِيهِ تَبِعَةٌ مِنْ ضَيْفٍ ضَافَنِي وَعِيَالٍ كَثُرُوا؟ فَقَالَ «نِعْمَ الْمَالُ الْأَرْبَعُونَ وَالْأَكْثَرُ السِّتُّونَ وَوَيْلٌ لِأَصْحَابِ الْمِئِينَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَعْطَى فِي رِسْلِهَا وَبِجِدَّتِهَا وَأَفْقَرَ ظَهْرَهَا وَأَطْعَمَ الْقَانِعَ وَالْمُعْتَرَّ» قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ مَا أَكْرَمَ هَذِهِ الْأَخْلَاقَ وَأَحْسَنَهَا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ لَا تَحِلَّ بِالْوَادِي الَّذِي أَنَا فِيهِ بِكَثْرَةِ إِبِلِي قَالَ فَكَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ؟ قُلْتُ تَعُدُّوا الْإِبِلَ وَتَعُدُّوا النَّاسَ فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَخَذَ بِرَأْسِ بَعِيرٍ وَذَهَبَ بِهِ فَقَالَ «فَمَا تَصْنَعُ بِأَفْقَارِ ظَهْرِهَا؟» قُلْتُ إِنِّي لَا أَفْقَرُ الصَّغِيرَ وَلَا النَّابَ الْمُدَبَّرَ قَالَ «فَمَالُكَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ أَمْ مَالُ مَوَالِيكَ» قُلْتُ مَالِي أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ مَالِ مَوَالِي قَالَ «فَإِنَّ لَكَ مِنْ مَالِكَ مَا أَكَلْتَ فَأَفْنَيْتَ أَوْ لَبِسْتَ فَأَبْلَيْتَ أَوْ أَعْطَيْتَ فَأَمْضَيْتَ وَإِلَّا فَلِمَوَالِيكَ» فَقُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ بَقِيتُ لَأَفْنِيَنَّ عَدَدَهَا قَالَ الْحَسَنُ فَفَعَلَ وَاللَّهِ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْ قَيْسُ الْوَفَاةَ أَوْصَى بَنِيهِ قَالَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْمَسْأَلَةَ فَإِنَّهَا آخِرُ كَسْبِ الْمَرْءِ إِنَّ أَحَدًا لَمْ يَسْأَلْ إِلَّا تَرَكَ كَسْبَهُ

✧ I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and when he saw me, I heard him say: “This is the chief of the people of the desert.” When I dismounted, I came to him and began speaking to him. I said: “O Messenger of Allah, what wealth is there for which I will not bear any consequence from a guest who stays with me or from numerous dependents?” He said: “What an excellent wealth is forty, and the most is sixty, and woe to the owners of hundreds except the one who gives in its abundance and its fatness, lends its back, and feeds the contented and the beggar.” I said: “O Prophet of Allah, how noble and how excellent are these character traits! O Prophet of Allah, may the valley in which I live not be settled by the abundance of my camels.” He said: “Then what do you do?” I said: “They count the camels and they count the people, and whoever wishes takes the head of a camel and goes away with it.” He said: “Then what do you do with lending their backs?” I said: “I do not lend the young or the old worn-out she-camel.” He said: “Is your wealth more beloved to you or the wealth of your heirs?” I said: “My wealth is more beloved to me than the wealth of my heirs.” He said: “Indeed, you have from your wealth what you eat and consume, or what you wear and wear out, or what you give and send forth; otherwise it is for your heirs.” I said: “By Allah, if I remain, I will indeed exhaust their number.” Al-Ḥasan said: “By Allah, he did so. When death came to Qays, he enjoined his sons, saying: ‘Beware of asking, for it is the last earning of a man. No one asks except that he leaves his earning.’”
